Some of you may have friends or family members affected. A cousin of mine in the San Diego area was evacuated yesterday.
A surprising number of sprinkler and outdoor lighting companies are headquartered in Southern California.
I heard yesterday that many of the folks who work at Unique Lighting were evacuated.
Today I went to the Hunter website and they have the following message on the main page.
Let's keep those Southern California residents and firefighters in our thoughts and prayers.
San Marcos, California,Tuesday, October 23, 2007, 4:00 PM PST
Much of San Diego County is under mandatory evacuation orders because of raging wildfires. The usual operations of Hunter Industries' San Marcos Headquarters have been affected but are starting back up on a limited basis if employees are willing and able to return to work.
Hunter Industries will have limited operations and administrative functions beginning this afternoon, but we anticipate that limited service is likely to continue through the week. We will continue to monitor the situation and will restore full business operations as soon as possible.
In spite of all this, we are doing our best to ensure the security of our employees while we make sure that there is minimal affect in the level of service we can provide to our customers. Our Customer Support and Technical Service areas will be open tomorrow during our regular service hours although call wait times may be affected.
Certain departments located in San Marcos may be difficult to reach. We ask that you leave a message or contact your field sales representative if your matter is urgent. We appreciate your patience as we deal with these high risk and fast-changing circumstances.
